Bio Energy Therapists Association Newsletter, Issue 1 2016
Welcome to the 2016 Newsletter. The AGM in November 2015 yielded a very good turnout which is very positive and uplifting. A big thanks again to all committee members who gave their time voluntary to attend meetings.
Chairpersons letter August 2016
Dear member,
I write to announce the impending launch of the new B.E.T.A. website and invite you to a Free Holistic day on Sat-
urday 17th September 2016 at the Clayton Hotel, Dublin (R139 near the Dublin airport roundabout) from 10.00am –
4.00pm where the new look website will be unveiled.
This BETA member’s FREE holistic day is being provided to you, in part to celebrate the launch of our new BETA
website and also to provide a time to come together, network with each other and access some member services.
We have planned a wonderful day, with sessions which will help to lift your energy vibration and clear your energy.
As a committee, we wish to provide further opportunities for member education in matters of Life Force Energy.
What would you like to know more about or see more of from your Association? You can let us know on the day or
by email in advance if you prefer.
We have invited Sean O’Neill, a classical acupuncturist and teacher who also is a Tai Chi Master. He will teach an
hour of Roots and Branches tm 5 element Qi Gong.
Tom Maher the designer of the website will launch the website and will answer any questions you have related to
the website. We’d like to ask for your feedback as to what you would like to see on the B.E.T.A. website in the fu-
ture, so there will be an opportunity in Tom’s session to facilitate this. Think about what you’d like to see. Feel free
to let us know in advance if you wish also or to provide your input by responding to [email protected] if you can’t
attend on the day.
First aid is now a necessity in the practice of Bio Energy Therapy. We have invited a paramedic to talk about first
aid and to explain the first aid one day course which will be made available to members and which will give you a 2
year certification in first aid.
Gemma Hipson, our Chairperson, will give a lecture and practical demonstration of Emotional Freedom Techniques
(E.F.T.). Founded in 1970, E.F.T has now been proven to clear and remove trauma and negative emotions from the
14 meridians. It is an amazing and highly effective therapy.
Berni Manning, our Treasurer will provide a refresher session related to bio energy techniques.
We will be asking you about the future, what do you want to see from the Association? Refresher or advanced bio
energy techniques or any other ideas that you would like to bring forward to discuss?
We will finish the day with a short mindfulness meditation section.
Note: If you are travelling from outside Dublin, please do not worry if you are late as we will provide you with full
notes on everything we do on the day.
We would love to see you there and we hope that this will be the first of many free holistic days.
A full agenda of the Free holistic day is provided with this newsletter for you.
